The Buffalo Sabres announced Sunday the team signed forward Luke Adam to a one-year, two-way
contract.

Adam (age 24, 6'2", 206 lbs.) has
played in parts of four seasons with the Sabres since being drafted by Buffalo
in the second round (44th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. In 2013-14, Adam
led the Sabres' American Hockey League affiliate, the Rochester Americans, in
goals and ranked second on the team in overall points with 49 (29 goals, 20
assists) in 59 games played. His 29 goals tied his career high, which he set in
2010-11 with the Portland Pirates (AHL), and was tied for eighth-most goals in
the AHL. In February, Adam played in his second AHL All-Star game.

Last season, Adam was called up to play
with the Sabres twice. In 87 NHL games with the Sabres, Adam has recorded 26
points (15/11) through 87 games played.

The St. John's, Newfoundland, native has
amassed 161 points (77/84) in 210 AHL games with the Americans and the Pirates.
He was awarded the 2010-11 Dudley "Red"
Garrett Memorial Award as the AHL's outstanding rookie, and also earned a spot
on the 2010-11 AHL All-Rookie Team.
